An owner, an EPC, and a roofing contractor can stand in the same building and need completely different data out of it.

Scoped for the person who opens the file
Reality capture is a service business pretending to be a technology business. The instrument matters far less than whether the deliverable lands in a form the receiving team can use on day one. So we scope backwards from the role: what are you deciding, in what software, on what deadline.
Across industrial plants, commercial towers, hospitals, and municipal facilities in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, different project stakeholders open the exact same building in completely different CAD, BIM, and GIS tools. An architectural renovation team needs native Autodesk Revit (.rvt, versions 2021 to 2025) at LOD 200 or LOD 300 alongside 2D AutoCAD (.dwg) floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, and exterior elevations. An EPC or mechanical contractor routing new process piping through an operating boiler room needs 2 to 3 mm tripod LiDAR point clouds in Autodesk ReCap (.rcp/.rcs) and ASTM E57 plus a Navisworks (.nwc/.nwd) clash model at LOD 350.
Facility owners and asset managers often want vendor-neutral E57 archives, openBIM IFC models, and dimensionally linked 360-degree virtual walkthroughs so maintenance planners can inspect overhead valves and clear heights from a browser without installing heavy engineering software. Roofing, solar, and civil site teams rely on FAA Part 107 RTK/PPK aerial photogrammetry for 1 to 3 cm orthomosaics (GeoTIFF), Digital Surface Models, and DWG roof curb and drainage takeoffs. Every role page below details the exact accuracy bands, coordinate control, and QA documentation we deliver for that discipline.
Owners & facility managers
Capital planning, asset documentation, and facility management BIM. One measured record that outlives the project that paid for it.
Usually asks for
Digital facility documentation
Capital project as-built records
Remote walkdown point cloud
Roof and envelope condition data
EPCs & engineering firms
EPC as-built scanning for brownfield retrofit: tie-in verification, prefabrication data, and clash review against real geometry.
Usually asks for
Engineering as-built survey
Prefabrication scan data
Design vs as-built comparison
Pipe rack and tie-in models
Architects & A/E teams
Architect existing conditions packages: measured floor plans, elevations, sections, and a Revit model you can design against on day one.
Usually asks for
As-built floor plans and elevations
Revit as-built model
ADA existing conditions scan
Historic and adaptive reuse documentation
General & specialty contractors
General contractor laser scanning and MEP coordination scans, plus construction verification when installed work has to be checked against design.
Usually asks for
MEP coordination scan
Navisworks clash model
Construction verification scan
QA/QC laser scan
Roofing & solar contractors
Roofing contractor drone maps and solar installer roof scans: measured area, slope, drainage, penetrations, and rooftop equipment.
Usually asks for
Roof area takeoff
PV roof mapping
Roof ponding and drainage analysis
No-walk roof survey
Public agencies
Government BIM as-built deliverables for bond projects, school districts, water authorities, and municipal capital programs.
Usually asks for
Existing conditions drawings
Bond project building scan
Public facility digital twin
Documentation for procurement
